The BS Corner Philosophy
The BS Corner stands for Business Systems. But yeah—we know what else it stands for too. And both meanings apply.
We created this publication because business systems are broken. Bloated software. Endless manual workarounds. Tribal knowledge. Spreadsheets pretending to be ERPs.
And most content out there? It’s either:
Vendor fluff
Theory from people who’ve never implemented a thing
Or clickbait that sounds smart but helps no one
We’re not here for that.
What We Actually Care About
At The BS Corner, we write for operators, CFOs, systems owners, and founders who live in the mess every day. People who can’t afford to pretend “transformation” happens just because someone bought a license.
Here’s what we believe:
🧠 Clarity Over Jargon
If you can’t explain a system to a smart person in plain English, you don’t understand it. We break down complex concepts without dumbing them down.
📊 Make Obscure Data Useful
Most companies are sitting on a mountain of unused, unloved, misunderstood data. We help you surface it, interpret it, and turn it into action.
🔍 Transparency is Power
We believe in naming the real issues. Shadow IT. Siloed workflows. Failed rollouts. We’ve lived it. We write about it. No sugarcoating.
🔁 Knowledge Should Flow
We share playbooks, checklists, frameworks, and lived experience. Because when good knowledge is locked up in decks or Slack threads, companies suffer.
🔧 Build Systems That Make People Smarter
Technology shouldn’t just automate work. It should amplify judgment, surface insight, and support better decisions. Otherwise—what’s the point?
Our Thought Process When Creating Content
We ask ourselves:
Is this actually useful to someone running finance or ops?
Would I send this to a colleague I respect?
Does this uncover what others gloss over?
Are we turning complexity into clarity—or just adding noise?
Can someone use this on Monday morning, or is it just theory?
If the answer is yes—we hit publish.
If not—we fix it until it is.
Who’s Behind This?
The BS Corner is curated by Matthew Eierman, a systems operator who’s built, broken, and rebuilt more ERPs, CRMs, HRIS, MES and compliance stacks than he cares to count. He's also a thought leader in the Business Systems Space, making Business Systems work for Modern Businesses cross all sizes and industries.
